Intro

C
Hey living thing, buy me a drink
                        F       Am  G
and drive me out to the airport
C
give me two hundred dollars and say
                              F    Am  G
the best thing anyone's ever said


C
if you steal every word, from your grandmother's purse
                         F         Am  G
and lay them out on the dashboard
         C  F  C  F  Am  G
we'll be fine...
              C  G  C  F  Em  F
we'll be fine.


C
Hey living thing, if you're turning in
                              F       Am  G
I'll wake you when something changes
C
then I'll ring all the bells again
                                  F     Am  G
and you'll spill champagne in my shoes


C
We'll make rose-coloured smoke
                                         F     Am  G
from bad horoscopes, confetti from news pages
              C  F  C  F  Am  G
and you'll be mine...
          F
you'll be mine.


C            G      C       F
and the same heart attack
          Em     F      G  F  C
will keep feeding back
      G     C      F
right under the street
          Em    F    G  F  G
skipping every other beat


Fill/Outro
(Hey living thing, let me in to the world you live in)

C   F   Am  G  x2

C
Hey living thing, you've waited for it
                      F          Am  G
for billions counting backwards
C
like a dog on a fire escape,
                           F   Am  G
like a bird in a basement


    Am
Now release your breath from its paper bag
       Em
and no matter what you hear
    F
if green lights should rain down tonight
                             Dm  G
it means tomorrow's another year

C        G     C      F
The same heart attack
          Em   F       G  F  C
will keep feeding back
      G  C      F
right under the street
         Em    F           G  F  G
skipping every other beat


Dm                                 Am
Hey living thing, you're breathing again

G                    F   C
you're breathing again

End on:
